7360-K038 Processor Upgrade
10. Install the new CPU Module.
a. Using a purely vertical motion carefully place the new CPU into the CPU Socket.
(The gold triangle on the CPU must align with beveled corner on the socket.)
Caution:
Always use the Handi-Vac CPU Removal Tool when handling the
CPU.
Caution:
Do not touch the CPU contacts.
Caution:
Do not insert the CPU at an angle or force the CPU into the socket.
b. Gently close the Socket Cover.
c. Lock the Socket by lowering the CPU Socket Latch and locking it.
11. Apply thermal grease to the top of the new CPU. Use approximately one quarter of
the contents of the grease syringe. Do not use the entire contents of the syringe. Too
much grease can block the airflow around the CPU heat spreader. The goal is for the
processor chip to be evenly covered with grease once the CPU Cooler is installed.
•
Do not apply the grease with a bare fingertip or talc-coated glove. Oils on skin
and particulate on the glove can contaminate the grease.
•
Make sure none of the grease gets on the circuit board. Heatsink grease is a
strong electrical conductor and can short signals on the board if it crosses trace
paths.
•
Recheck to make sure no foreign contaminants are present on the top of the
CPU.
